T0 ALL WHOM IT MAY CON CERN: n i v v:Be it kno'wn 'that I, WILIIAM L. CAMP, of Holden, in the county of Worcester, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement i'u Washing Machine; and I do hereby declare that the following is 4asfulhclear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make'and use the same, reference being had to theaocolnpanying drawings, forming part of this spcification, in which- I 'Figure 1 is s horizontalsection of my'improved washing machine `taken through the line yy, lig. 2.

Figurej2 is vertical seetionof the same taken through the 4line n: x, iig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

My invention has for. its 'object to furnish animproved machine, by means of which the clothes may be washed cas-ier, quicke1', and more thoroughly than they could betwith other machines; and it consists in the combinationl of the-revolviugdisk havinghgroove'd floats attached to it, each float nbeing set at adiii'erent distance fr0"tl1e`centre,'with 'the tubhavingvertical'capped `wings attached tio its sides fthe'whole being constructed:

A is the tnb,."ab0ut the construction of which there is nothing new. The tub A is provided with a. closely fitting cover, B, through the centre of which passes a shaft, C, which may be operated by a crankor other suitable gearing. To the lower end ofthe shaft C is attached a circular. disk, D, to which are attached the floats E'. The floats E are' grooved vertically upon their forward and rear' sides, or' upon all their s'ides,so that as theyg'revolve they may throw the water in both directions.A lllhe floats E are attached to the disk D in such positions that theyjnajr each boat 'a different 'distance vfrom the centre, so that they may each lucve in a separate track through the tub. To'the sides of thctub A are attached Wings F, havingcurved 4caps Gattached to their upper ends.- Thse wings-F receive and break thccurrerits of water, and the caps Gdash the water back towards the centre of the tub upon the clothes. By this construction the clothes are swept around through the l tub by the oats E, the water being thrown into violent agitation by the Heats, wings, and caps, and byits motion quickly washes the dir t from the clothes withoutsubjecting them -to the wear which is unavoidable where' -thewashing is do'ne byvfriction'., n v

Y I'elaim as new, and desire to secure by Lettere Patent- The combination of the revolving disk D, having grooved floats E attached to it, each oat being ata diernt distance from the centre, with the tubA having capped wings F G attached to it, 4substantially as herein shown and describ'edand for the purpose set forth.
